Easy cream cheese pancakes are a great alternative to eggs every day on a keto diet.

Pancakes are possible even on Keto

Do you ever get tired of eggs? People on the Keto diet eat a lot of eggs, but what if I told you that combining one egg with an ounce of cream cheese and a splash of vanilla could create the tasty pancakes like the ones pictured above, almost as fast as cooking up an omelet? Would you believe me?

Well sisters and brothers, believe it! I decided yesterday I couldn’t face one more egg muffin this week, and longed for something more filling and delicious. I needed a change. Well, change is what I got and it was so satisfying, quick and easy, I’ll be having these at least once a week!

Now don’t get me wrong, these weren’t big, thick, fluffy pancakes of olden days, but they were pancakes that tasted delicious and broke me out of the old egg-for-breakfast routine, which was good enough for me! Can you imagine?

My keto cream cheese pancakes with sugar-free syrup

The recipe is just what I mentioned above, mixed in a bullet or Ninja, cooked in Kerrygold butter in a nice, hot, frying pan and voila! Top with sugar-free syrup and you have a delicious, keto breakfast that satisfies those cravings for something resembling bread, yet stays low-carb.

Add a slice or two of bacon or your favorite low carb protein of choice and there you have it! Try them out yourself and tell me what you think!

Recipe:

1 egg

1oz cream cheese

1 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

Mix ingredients in a bullet or Ninja cup blender, pour batter in a hot, buttered frying pan, cook like any other pancakes. Top with butter and sugar-free syrup and enjoy! Makes about 3 medium sized pancakes.

Put the almond flour, baking powder, salt and granular Splenda, if using, in a medium mixing bowl. In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Add the liquid Splenda, if using, the vanilla, cream and water to the butter. Add the liquid mixture and the eggs to the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix well with a spoon. If the batter seems too stiff, stir in another tablespoon of water.

Spoon the batter into six paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 350º 15-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the pan and cool at least 5 minutes on a rack before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator.

Full disclosure, I copied her recipe to share with you guys here in case some of you don’t use Pinterest. The photo is my own from the time I made them, they were so delicious! Once made, I stored them in the fridge, then when I wanted one, I placed them in the toaster oven on the toast setting and when ready, I used cream cheese instead of butter…heavenly!

Another note, I use silicone muffin liners like these and they pop right out with easy cleanup!

Hey everyone, and good morning! I have great news for fans of the Keto Diet Basic app or users like me. There’s a new game in town and they are calling it the Keto Diet Quiz App-It’s a fun way to learn about low-carb eating and it’s in a game form.

What you see when you open the original app

The advantages are that it is 100% free, there are no subscriptions, no ads, and no sign-ups. You simply download the app like any other, and start playing the game. It is to test your knowledge on keto and low carb living, while also providing you with helpful resources within the game.

The app is available on IOS and Android by going to either the Google play store or the App Store for iPhone, iPad users. Users of the Keto Diet App can find the buttons in the latest blog and download them right from the page!

I already installed mine on my phone today and learned a thing or two myself! Like which nuts have the least/most carbs, you may be surprised at the answers. Turns out that pistachios and cashew nuts are highest in carbs!

Almonds are lowest in net carbs and highest of all nuts in protein (6g per serving).

What about seeds? Chia seeds have 1.4g of NET carbs, meaning once you remove the fiber grams from the total carb count, 9.9g from 11.3g respectively, you end up with 1.4 net carbs.

They also lower blood sugar and improve satiety, are ant-inflammatory, and provide a good source of calcium. Of all nuts and seeds, chia seeds contain the highest levels of fiber. See how much you can learn with this game?

That is just the tip of the iceberg, there are thousands of questions with various categories and levels of difficulty. Take the quizzes, take notes, share with your friends and compare your answers and your new knowledge.

Combined with the Keto Diet App, this new Quiz app will have you an expert in no time, or simply make it more fun to learn how to live low carb and love it! Try it out today and let me know what you think!

The developer is Martina Slajerova who created the original Keto Diet app.
